How can I treat rising damp?
You yourself can only temporarily remedy the symptoms of rising damp, such as peeling paint, wallpaper coming loose or mold on the wall. To permanently treat the cause of rising damp, call in a damp expert. They inject the wet wall and restore the water barrier, so that soil moisture can no longer penetrate the wall.
How can I treat rising damp?
Opstijgend vocht behandelen op een duurzame en effectieve manier? Dan is vochtige muren injecteren the way to go! Met een injectie herstelt de vochtexpert de verouderde of ontbrekende waterkering onderaan de muren van je woning. De waterkering houdt water dat opstijgt uit de ondergrond tegen en voorkomt daarmee dat vocht in de muren van je woning trekt. Opstijgend vocht behandelen laat je best over aan een vochtexpert. Die bereidt je natte muur zorgvuldig voor, injecteert hem met een vochtwerende gel, en werkt het geheel netjes af.
Your DryPlan moisture specialist can treat rising damp in five steps:
Step 1 | Determine
Starten doen we met een uitgebreide vochtdiagnose. We scannen je vochtige muur en brengen de oorzaken in kaart. Nadien gieten we onze bevindingen in een gedetailleerd rapport waarin we een definitieve oplossing naar voren schuiven. Dé onderbouwde basis om opstijgend vocht aan te pakken!
Step 2 | Prepare
Before we start any work, we make sure we protect your home in the best possible way. Covering the floor with cardboard is a must. We first remove the finishing layer of the wet wall to the agreed height. The debris is neatly cleaned up by our workmen.
Step 3 | Wall Injection
Up next? At the bottom of the wall, we drill holes 10 to 14 millimeters in diameter. We do this every 10 centimeters. Then we will inject your wall with the quality product Rewah Inject A+++. This moisture-resistant gel spreads into your wall for 3 to 4 weeks, forming a solid, horizontal moisture barrier just above the floor. In this way, we put rising damp completely out of action.
Step 4 | Protect
Along with groundwater, hygroscopic salts are pulled upward and deposited in the walls of your home. The result? Plaster and paintwork come off again. We avoid this scenario by installing a salt-resistant membrane that keeps your finish coat in the best condition.
Step 5 | Finishing
Once the membrane is in place, we roll up the sleeves to set your wall. Allow about 10 to 12 weeks of drying time before you can repaint or wallpaper. We recommend continuously ventilating your space during this period. At cold times, it's best to make sure you have minimal heating. This will ensure a flawless and moisture-free end result!
TIP | Keep your invoice after the works, because in some municipalities you get subsidies for moisture treatments. So be sure to check if this applies to your place of residence.
